Here is Whisker, it's a xfce panel plugin that is a replacement applications menu.

A big thanks for this one, Geoffrey!

Although I'm on Carolina 1.1, your Whisker menu .pet installed and is working, seemingly, perfectly. (Aside from the "XPrecise" title that I'm sure I'll be able to change via a config file somewhere)

I can't believe it, actually - I just tonight discovered Whisker menu while reading a Distrowatch-linked review of MakuluLinux Xfce. Saw this super-nice menu in the screenshot, did a little Googling to see what Whisker's all about (easily tweakable, Favorites and Recently Used entries... and a handy search feature! ), and thought "dang... this would be a perfect addition to Carolina". Next visit was to here at the Puppy forums, and BAM! - here it is!!

Although there's absolutely nothing wrong with Xfce's simple, functional LXDE/JWM-like menu system, I always thought it was just a bit behind the "higher-class" functionality and look of the rest of Xfce, in general. Whisker menu just sets it off perfectly. Good stuff!!

Thanks Bob, I have had it for a week or so, first in Carolina to try it out, it did need a few changes made to make it compatible,

it's certainly more configurable than what we have at present.

As for the " XPrecise " title, that is hard coded with no way to change it, but I do have one for carolina,

I'll post that at some point when I sort out what I'm doing in regard to the favorites.

You'll find that the screen lock won't work in carolina with the one I posted, all you need do though is in preferences set it to run " Xlock "._________________Carolina:Recent Repository AdditionsCreate strikethrough textHERE

I've had no luck finding Handbrake, one that works anyway. I tried a 0.99 deb but had lots of missing libs.

rg,
can you please send me a link to the 0.9.9 deb of handbrake that you tried. I would like to see if I can hunt down the missing libs. I have a feeling I have already hunted down most of them for Acid Rip, which I got out of the Ubuntu repository. Also the ppm has oodles of gstreamer libs and plugins, but no gstreamer, is that right?

Oh my, this may be the pup that I've been waiting for. Booted it for the first time 15 minutes ago, put the panel on top, changed resolution, and somehow got online tethered to my phone after copying Klink over and installing it. (Klink is a .deb from the Android/Google app store that gets me online through my smartphone.)

Beautiful, snappy, uncluttered... haven't found anything to not like about X-precise-2.2 so far. I may change out Geany in favor of Leafpad, but that's nothing.

A few more Qt applications, remember once the Qt framework packages are installed there is no need to download them again,
then when adding applications they will be of a small size, most being a little over 1mb or less.

Hi!
I'm a total linux newbie and I've been searching for a light distro to install on my 10y old laptop. This laptop has only 512mb of RAM.
I've tried Xubuntu, Lubuntu,old Mint and Ubuntu versions,but none worked. I've discovered Puppy and it worked great. The main issue is that the interface looked like dog poo from 1995. I wasted hours trying to put it better. Yesterday I discovered X-Precise and is just the way I wanted Puppy Linux to be out of the box. I didn't had to change anything in the interface, theme or icons. Is just awesome.
I'll now be testing X-Precise for a few days running it from the CD, but if all goes well I may just install it on the HD.

Memory in use right now (only with Firefox open) : 168Mb
CPU usage. 50%
I may have to try Opera to see if it is lighter.

Hi, I did a frugal install of x-precise 2.2 NON PAE on HDD sda9 in /puppy-x-precise on an old Athlon 32-bit CPU with 2GB RAM, and got an issue (below) which I'm unable to figure out, can someone offer some advice, please?

On this machine I can network boot Precise 5.7.1 just fine. But frugal booting x-precise 2.2 NON-PAE has an issue; it goes through puppy's first time setup wizard then it displays a window that says "unable to contact settings server" and X drops to the console command line. So does restarting X with xwin.
I did go through Xorgconfig and reselected the ATI driver and rebooted. Again x-precise went through the first-time setup wizard, then dropped to the console command line with the same message "unable to contact settings server".

Glad you like it, 50% CPU seems quite high. With firefox running I'm only at 10% although I'm using a dual core at 3Ghz and 2GB RAM.

@ step

Unfortunately, X-precise and X-slacko do not work with P3 or AMD Athlon processors. I think it's a d-bus issue but can't seem to find the problem and have been unable to fix it. They need at least a P4, sorry._________________X-slacko-3b7 with Xfce-4.12.0 - X-slacko-2.3.2 - X-precise-2.4
